What Is the 2024 Audi Q3?
Agile and ideally sized for busy traffic, the Audi Q3 is a five-seat subcompact luxury SUV that comes standard with all-wheel drive. It offers a choice of 184- or 228-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines, the latter of which has more pep for daily driving and fuel economy that’s close to what you get with the base engine. The Q3’s cabin is nicely finished, and its 8.8-inch touchscreen (or optional 10.1-inch screen) is simple to navigate. Cargo space and rear legroom, however, are less than what you get in many other small luxury SUVs. Competitors include the BMW X1, Lexus UX, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Volvo XC40.

Adaptive cruise control with lane guidance is now standard on all Q3s, and the Convenience Package adds a wireless charging pad and HomeLink functionality that’s built into the rearview mirror.

Should I Buy the 2024 Audi Q3?
The Q3 is an Audi SUV, only smaller. That might sound obvious, but luxury brands sometimes skimp on details when it comes to their less bulky (and less expensive) SUVs. Not here; driving refinement and a nicely designed cabin make sure the Q3 doesn’t feel like a budget ride with a fancy label slapped on its front grille. Cargo space and backseat legroom are acceptable, but rivals (particularly the X1) deliver more of each.
